Today in science class, we focus on the relationship between the water cycle, atmospheric conditions, and weather patterns on Earth. Homework includes taking notes on the water cycle and humidity while reviewing cloud formation steps. Students should utilize wral.com to record current weather conditions, explore air pressure and wind patterns, and summarize key points from the McDougall textbook. A description wheel will help illustrate vital concepts, and preparation for the Weather Patterns Quiz and Atmosphere Re-Test is essential.

Transcription de la présentation
  1. 9/26/1323rd Day of School Learning Goal: I will be able to explain how the water cycle and atmospheric conditions relate to the weather patterns on Earth. Due Today: 1) Water cycle and humidity notes; Questions # 1,2 & 6 page A63. Evening Assignment: Study for Weather Patterns Quiz and Atmosphere Re-Test.

  2. On a slip of paper write your name, date, and answer the following question: List in order the steps involved in cloud formation. When done, update your weather conditions chart. Do Now

  3. Steps in cloud formation: • Sun heats water (liquid) and causes it to evaporate into water vapor (gas) • Warm moist air rises (gas), expands, and cools as it goes higher in altitude. • Water vapor (gas) in the air condenses into tiny droplets (liquid) or ice crystals (solid). • These droplets or ice crystals condense around tiny solid particles such as dust, smoke, and salt. How did you do? McDougall Textbook p. A60

  4. Add today’s current weather conditions to your chart Core 1 Do Now Use wral.com for your weather source. Record the data for today.

  5. Add today’s current weather conditions to your chart Core 2 Do Now Use wral.com for your weather source. Record the data for today.

  6. Add today’s current weather conditions to your chart Core 3 Do Now Use wral.com for your weather source. Record the data for today.

  7. Add today’s current weather conditions to your chart Core 4 Do Now Use wral.com for your weather source. Record the data for today.

  8. Air moves from high pressure toward low pressure Temperature differences create… Air pressure differences which produce wind. How wind forms McDougall Text p. A48

  9. Read the pages about the water cycle and precipitation. Summarize each section by writing at least 4 key points in bullet formatin your own words (don’t copy word-for-word from textbook.) Pages A 56-59 • Section 2.3 Most clouds form as air rises and cools. • Temperature affects water in the air. • Water in the Air • Humiditiy (only summarize the 1stparagragh) • Water vapor condenses and forms clouds. Summarizing McDougall Text p. A59

  10. Water Cycle http://pmm.nasa.gov/education/water-cycle

  11. Warm air rises and cools. Water vapor condenses into droplets or or ice crystals.Cloud formation occurs.McDougall p. A59Cloud Formation

  12. In your science notebook draw a description wheel and add important concepts about the following: • Air Pressure • Wind Patterns • Water Cycle We will do this together as a class! Description Wheel Notes

  13. In your science notebook draw a description wheel (see below example from page A42) and add important concepts about the following: • Air Pressure • Wind • Water Cycle We will do this together as a class! McDougall, p. A42 Description Wheel Notes

  14. Force exerted by air molecules Air pressure Description Wheel Notes

  15. Air that moves horizontally or parallel to the ground Wind Description Wheel Notes

  16. Force exerted by air molecules Water Cycle Description Wheel Notes

  17. Study notes for Weather Patterns Quiz Study for atmosphere test re-take The re-take will be on Friday! Evening Assignment
